This looks like an excellent investment, and I am happy to say it is way under your price point!
Reviewers say it is a good tool for removing pet hair. I love the lift out, bagless design. I guess it can also do wood floors. I haven't owned a Shark, but I have heard very good things about them lately. It's so important to have a good vacuum... save you some headaches down the road!
Comes with various attachments and stuff. Check it out, looks like a winner to me.

This little guy is a great option for you. I like the sort of retro red thing it has going on, hope you like it too. Should be very reliable and work for a long time. Not a fancy microwave, but has the important features, like:
-900watts
-10 power levels
-5 auto cook menus
-3 pre programmed one-touch cooking menus

Okay so your question is very open ended... I'm going to take it at face value. Don't know what your budget is, so I am recommending what I think is the best, regardless of budget.
This blender is a monster. Blendtec is in the business of high quality, professional blenders. This commercial grade blender uses 1,560-watts and has a 3 horsepower motor. It will blend or juice ANYTHING!
|

This seems to be a well built heavy duty blender. It's on the lighter end of professional blenders, so it is affordable and durable. I like the stainless steel container.... kind of old school. There are more heavy duty blenders out there, but many of them will cost you 3-4 hundred dollars. Trying to keep the cost sort of reasonable for you here.
Great for ice crushing, smoothies, looks cool, and definitely heavy duty.

This should do the trick.
It does cross cut style. It's a medium duty shredder so it should hold up to the wear and tear of an office environment. It's quiet and fairly fast, at about 7 feet per minute.
Steel cross cut blades will power through CD's, paper clips, and of course a ton of paper!

A very cool mouse! Aesthetically, especially! But yeah it's wired and has lot's of cool stuff like a bunch of programmable buttons, in-game controls, and a ridiculous 5600dpi precision 3.5G laser sensor. This mouse opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Here's a nice one that I found that works for both Android devices or iPads. It connects wirelessly via bluetooth and has up to a 33 ft range... or at least that's what they claim!
It's a sleek, portable 10in X 5in size, and is like a 1/4in thick. It's going to be similar to a laptop keypad. It works very well and has a nice touch to it. The only real negative thing said about it is that it's not ideal for fast typing because the keys have a slight resistance, but hey I figure if you're using a tablet to type you're not trying to break any speed typing records.

This might just be your best option. In fact this is one of the best cameras I have seen in the price range.
It features 26X optical zoom, which is just fantastic, with its NIKKOR ED glass lens (22.5-585mm) with optical VR Image Stabilization. That IS really helps big time. Also has a large 3" LCD screen and tons of scene modes.
Great camera, from one of the best optics companies worldwide.

A great option for you. These are, unfortunately, on the expensive side, but they can stand up to some seriously inclement weather. It also, somewhat surprisingly, has a 1080p, full HD display for you to enjoy. Check it out, looks pretty legit.

Well, without a budget in your question you have left this wide open! For movie watching I think bigger is better, that's why I suggest this 12 inch Eee Slate from Asus. They make a killer tablet... probably the best contender with iPad competition in the display department. It has a 12.1" WSVGA (1280x800) Capacitive LED Touchscreen which will be stunning. This thing also has Flash support, which iPad does not.
This thing is so big and powerful and has such a large screen, I can't imagine finding anything much better!

This is a sweet deal from Acer, I highly suggest you look into this guy. I think it will actually be more than enough power for your grad school work, and ii is nestled nicely in the under $500 range. If you care about internal specs, this Acer has the following highlights:
2nd gen Intel® Core™ i3-2330M Processor (2.2GHz, 3MB L3 cache)
Windows® 7 Home Premium
Microsoft® Office Starter 2010
500GB Hard Drive
4GB DDR3 Memory
Of course it also has a webcam, optical drive, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 port, 1 HDMI port, and anice 15 inch screen.
This will be great for you!

I am sort of surprised at how cheap this headset is, but it looks like a nice little product. For $30 you get a nice big over-ear design with volume controls are on the headset and a nice mic. They have like an oversized ear cup thing that should block some noise. The have 40 mm speakers, which deliver full range digital audio.... bigger is usually better here because that will allow for a higher frequency response.
Absolutely a fantastic deal if you ask me.

Personally, I think the potential is huge! It seems like one of those revolutionary ideas that will sort of change the industry. Super cool ideas like if you are looking at a landmark you can see historical information and comments about it left by your friends. Very cool idea, seems like an amazing tool/toy that everyone is going to want... as long as they are done well and functional and everything. Like as long as they don't inhibit what you are doing at all.
|
|
|
|
|

Just want to suggest this as a cheap alternative....
This thing works well, but it is definitely a 'budget' device. It will work fine but isn't super high quality. Also, some users report that it just stopped working after a few months use... again, it works, but it's sort of cheap!
(you get what you pay for!)

This is what I use and I have to say I am quite fond of it. I really like mechanical keyboards because to me they have the best feel and fastest response.
Black widow offers fully programmable keys and 5 additional gaming keys.
But seriously, to me the selling point for this keyboard is the tactile keys. The action is awesome and helps prevent typos/missed keys...check it out.

for gaming, definitely get a new desktop, and build it if you can. especially under $1000. If you buy pre-assembled desktop for under $1000 it will be pretty good, but if you build one with that budget it will kick ass.

For somethng similar (but different) you could try a 4/3 camera. It's like a dslr in picture quality and that it has interchangeable lenses, but different because it's smaller and is mirrorless.

I think it would have to bo this one right here.... the specs on this thing are kind of ridiculous actually. A 21.1.mp cmos sensor! Dang. Wide range ISO setting 100-6400 and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor enable fantastic low light shots. It has 3.9 fps continuous shooting and can shoot 1920x1080 resolution full HD video (for up to 4GB per clip) so it can also be used as a legit video camera. Also has a big LCD screen.
This is a beast of a camera!
|

|

I think the Rebel would e be a good choice. It films HD video (1280x720) and offers in camera editing,. Although it's only 1280x720 the video quality is still quite good. It shoots 30 and 25 frames per second.
The thing is, there aren't tons of manual control options in video mode, but that is to be expected at this budget. If you are looking for more manual control you might have to up your budget a wee it and go with a Rebel T3i or 60d.

If you are looking for a TV I would suggest this Philips. Good price, good specs, I like the brand too. It's got an LCD screen and is 720p. Looks good!

This seems like it would fit your needs quite well. It's pretty much exactly what you asked for: a cheap gaming laptop.
Actually has some good stuff under the hood, and should be capable of some close to "exceptional" performance..... although "exceptional" is quite a tall order!
Here you'll be getting an Intel i7-2670QM processor, 6 GB DDR3 Memory, 640 GB Hard Drive
Nvidia GT 540 Graphics with 1 GB DDR3, a 15.6-Inch Screen, and Windows 7 Home Premium. All good stuff, especially for under $1000. Gotta love those Nvidia graphics. Asus also offers a warranty, which you will certainly want to take advantage of if ordering online.
|

You think this would work? Seems to fit the bill. It's under your budget, completely barebones, good brand, and the case isn't too small, so it wil be easy to work on.

Alright I am going to take a stab at this. I don't own this mic so I don't know exactly what options it has for connecting a boom, however the bundle for sale below leads me to believe that you can just screw it on to the end of any boom (as long as the mic clip is off) I think that will do it, but honestly I am not entirely sure. Check out the link below....
http://www.mightymics.com/products/blue-microphone...
So, if I am correct, you could look into the Overhead Broadcast boom I recommended.... it will attach directly to your desk and give you a little flexibility. Hope this helps a little, sorry if it doesn't!

Wow lots of great stuff to mention with this TV. I like Sony and think they make a great television. You will be able to pick this up for about $100 under your budget, but still you will get some awesome features like full HD 1080p resolution and motionflow 120Hz technology. I think anything 120Hz or greater is plenty for most purposes. It's got the ambient light sensor that adjusts the picture depending on the light in the room. It also has tons of inputs: 4 HDMI, 2 component, 2 composite, 1 PC, 1 USB, 1 optical digital audio output.
Also worth mentioning is the look of the unit... I think it's a good looking TV that will look great in just about any room!

I have always been a fan of Sony and I think this would be a good choice for you. I don't know what exactly you want out of the internet application on your television, but this one offers Google TV. It's pretty cool... it lets you go on You Tube, Netflix, Pandora, watch NBA games, etc. The only thing is a lot of it you have to pay for (like NBA games and a lot of the movies). But some of it you don't,and I think as Google TV grows (it's still pretty new) they will add a lot of great features. Oh and there are thousands of other Android Apps to choose from besides You Tube and those other ones I listed. All you need is a Gmail account and the internet to get started. You can even browse the net while watching TV!
People say the remote takes a minute to get used to (they give you a full QWERTY remote, which would be very useful) but once you do it is really handy.
As for the TV itself, this is a pretty great unit. It only has a 60Hz refresh rate, but besides that I like all the specs, like the 1080p (1920 x 1080p) Full HD LED display.
This will be an excellent TV for you, and it's easily in your price range.

In online reviews, this was rated among the best plasma screens out there (for 2011), mostly in terms of pure picture quality. Apparently it is ridiculously sharp and vibrant, with the deepest darks imaginable. You would even be able to opt for the next size up (64") and keep it within your budget.
It has some impressive specs right off the bat, with its 25,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and
600Hz refresh rate. Samsung is know for their picture quality in general, so you know the image is going to be ridiculous.
So yeah it also does 3D, although they don't include the glasses. But the 3D will be pretty awesome, and it will even take 2D shows and make them 3D-ish in real time. Sports would look awesome like that! Oh, and with a 600Hz refresh rate, sports wil look amazingly clear....just sayin.
Add the fact that the TV looks great right out of th box and I think you have yourself a real winner.

I like M Audio for this type thing. My good buddy has these in his mini recording studio for playback (this is the only time I have heard these speakers) and they sound awesome. I think they will give you the performance you want... nice and even from top to bottom. Not too bass heavy nor too tinny. The speakers each have a 4" polypropylene-coated woofers for tight, accurate bass (not boomy at all), as well as cone-tweeters for clear highs. Mostly, I think they are designed for clear midrange, as the size and build sort of lends itself to those frequencies.
They won't have the deepest bass, but they'll definitely produce some nice rich sounds for you.

I would have to suggest Logitech for you. They make very reliable, high quality mice with lots of cool features. This one would be perfect for you because it will be very comfortable for your everyday use but also has some gaming features that you will appreciate. It's also wireless and has laser precision accuracy... and a scroll whell.
For gaming it has 13 programmable buttons. This might seem overwhelming for mild gaming, but I think you will find the feature very useful, as it is super easy to program. It also has highly accurate tracking (5700dpi max), and it has a nice ergonomic design that should fit quite nicely in your hand.
It takes 2 AA batteries. It will last a long time and be one heck of a nice mouse for ya.
If you don't want all the gaming features, but rather are looking for something a little simpler, I would still suggest Logitech.... maybe try the M305.

Here's an awesome option for you... the Sony A55. One of the fastest DSLRs around, especially at its price point.
For wildlife you need something FAST and of course you will want some sort of telephoto lens (the right lens for you is a whole other discussion!), and this option comes with a decent lens on it and will leave plenty of room in your budget for adding a great lens later. You will want to be pretty far from your subjects probably, so a lens with some awesome zooming capabilities is a must.
Back to the camera... oddly enough it’s not technically a dSLR. It uses a stationary, translucent mirror rather than a reflexive, transparent mirror. However for most purposes it's just about the same thing.... and it's really fast!! The autofocus is basically instantaneous, and it can simultaneously shoot and focus. Another highlight is that it can shoot 10 frames-per-second in burst shooting mode, which is a feature normally reserved for camera 3 or 4 times the price.
The fact that it is not a 'real' dslr actually has a pretty nice advantage, in that it enables Sony to make the camera slightly more compact than your average dslr. See, there is no mirror box necessary for this type of camera, which drastically reduces size.
The one thing you will loose a little bit with this camera is low light capabilities. It will be decent, but certainly have slightly higher noise than its dslr equivalent. This is because the light will be filtered a little bit by the translucent mirror, and will result in slightly lower sensitivity. But, seeing as this question is regarding wildlife shooting and fast picture taking is incredibly important (moreso that low light ability), i think you would find this an excellent companion in the field.

I think this camera was pretty much designed for you specifically! All the right stuff for some great action shots, and easily under your price point. Sometimes it can be tough to find a great camera that can do all the things you want it to without a huge budget, but this definitely fits the bill. You will be able to get some quick shutter speeds and a nice deep depth of field to really capture the moment.
It's 16-megapixel EXR-CMOS sensor will give you crisp pictures in fast-shooting (and low-light) situations. It has a really fast transfer circuit that enables quick process and reading of files for high speed shooting. It can also capture up to 11 frames/second at 8-megapixel (full res), perfect for getting that one great shot.
The FinePix also eliminates any worries about slow auto focusing or shutter lag. The new solution's contrast Auto Focus system takes approximately 0.16 seconds (minimum) to focus. Awesome for quick pictures of your dogs in motion.
You're also looking at a 30x wide angle zoom lens, which is gong to be nice outside in larger areas.
This will definitely get you some great pics! Enjoy.

Barely over your budget you can get this beautiful Nikon D90, my recommendation for wildlife shooting. DSLR is definitely a good choice for wildlife. Why? I think your main concerns are going to be shutter speed and general operation speed, as things come and go so quickly in nature. Shutter lag will not be a problem with DSLRs, but it will be on a regular point and click. The last thing you want to do is miss that shot you've been waiting all day for because you camera can't keep up with you. Additionally, this thing has an impressive 0.15-second start-up time to ensure you get every shot.
You're probably going to need a fast telephoto lens, (preferably f2.8-f4) and a high ISO setting for sharp, in motion objects. With a DSLR you can always add more lenses as your budget permits, and this camera will go as high as ISO 6400. Its 12.3 megapixel (CMOS) image sensor and quick image-processing engine produce high-resolution pictures at very high speeds.
Another cool thing here is the Continuous Shooting option, which enables picture taking as fast as 4.5 frames-per-second. I think this would be very useful on a moving target!
Nikon's DSLRs are great cameras! You will be in really good hands wit this guy.

This is the TV I have right now. Freaking sweet, man. The picture looks so good. Of course it does, though. Tvs today are amazing.
Anyways, great television. I do want to say that you should consider if you really want to spend that much on a TV for college because college is rowdy! And things get broken and stolen and stuff. Not to be a downer, but just keep that in mind! Cause I would hate to see something happen to your nice new TV!

This is an excellent article that I read a couple years ago that really helped me add a bunch of healthy calories to my day. Weight gain shakes are okay but they have a lot of unnecessary sugar and sometimes are made with low quality protein. This article will give you some great ideas for healthy shakes that you can make yourself to add 1000 or more calories a day to your diet. They taste good, too! Surprisingly enough. Like everyone said, you gotta have a work out routine, too, or the calories will be converted to fat! I am assuming you would like to gain muscle rather than fat :-)

The Alienware and Microtel are both good suggestions. Here's another one to consider.
You get a 1.5Tb SATA hard drive and a nice ATI Radeon graphics card, you also get Windows 7. So it will be nice and fast for your gaming purposes.
It's also very cool looking.
I think your husband will be very happy with any of these computers you see here. Have fun!

This is an awesome label printer in general, and it does print USPS labels no problem, but I agree with reviewers on Amazon thAt SET UP IS TOO DIFFICULT!! I don't know why it is such a process. Printing USPS is easy once you figure out how, but getting there is quite a ride that involves using your paypal account and other processes.
I eventually figured it out, but it was only due to the explicit directions of a certain reviewer on Amazon, to whom I owe thanks! Saved me some serious time.
So if you do go with this one, I suggest checking out the first review on the Amazonlink I posted to figure out how to print the labels, rather than doing it yourself.
Once you're up and running you wil be very happy with it. I know I am!

I think Garmin or Magellan is the way to go. They consistently rank among the best overall, year after year. Garmin is by far the biggest name in the market, doing about 50% of the GPS business. That right there should tll you something about their product.

This is the monitor I use, though not for mac mini (I am assuming it is compatible with the mini...I don't see why it wouldn't be). I bought it because it seemed like the best monitor for the money. It has everything I need, and it seems like you have similar needs.
The screen isn't huge by any means, but it's definitely not small, and for my general use (I'm not a particularly tech-savvy guy) it's perfect. I use it for browsing the net, occasional gaming and word processing, and that's about it. I have had no problems with it as of yet. So reliability seems good. I think it woud be an excellent choice for you.

I have to say I am a bit hesitant to suggest any HP printer to you, because I think there are plenty of other companies out there that make better printers (Epson and Canon come to mind), but this printer seems okay, and works with airprint.
Overall, I think HP printers have decent printing capabilities, but they fall short on usability.... they are not what I would call user friendly. My old printer was an HP (not this model, but something quite similar) and it was just a struggle to use.
Things like setting it up were more difficult than they needed to be...not intuitive at all. Even switching out ink was awkward at best. I also experienced lots of paper jams.
Now, I am not saying this printer will definitely be like that, but I think there is a general consensus that HP is not the best choice for printers.... sorry if I am over-generalizing, but that's how I feel!

Sennheiser makes BOMB headphones. I'm sure these are like the best cheap earbuds ever.
They've got the little silicone inserts for comfort and sound insulation.
These wil definitely be a good set.

Even though I don't own this printer I feel as though I can highly recommend it to you because of the other Canon products I have owned over the years. They are always reliable and fantastic at what they do.
I do own a Canon Pixma, just not the portable variety. It's an excellent printer that prints documents and photos equally well. I haven't really had any problems with my Pixma, and I am sure this one will perform similarly.
It has wireless capabilities, too.
It weighs 9 pounds... I think that is reasonable for a printer, but it may be a little heavy for ya.
The one thing that comes to mind is finding a case for the printer... I don't know if they make such a thing, but it's worth a look.

These are nice strollers. The seat is reversible which is a great feature. I know my daughter was apprehensive about sitting in it until I turned her to face me.
You can also attach your own car seat to it (not all car seats work, but most standard ones should).

Oh Brother....
Brother makes great printers/label makers and all sorts of office equipment. I feel like I can whole heartedly suggest this, even though I have personally never used it! I just know they have a good reputation and the label maker I have from them rocks.
I think this is a great deal for a monochrome printer (I don't know if monochrome is okay with you) and yeah you will save money by not buying ink for sure. Toner is way cheaper. This is a good option if you plan on printing large quantities of documents.
It's small and home office friendly... sleek modern design, too. Nice looking machine.
|
|
|
|
|

This looks like a good one to me.... honestly, I may not be the best resource ever, because I don't personally own the thing, but from what I can tell it seems like something I would buy for myself.
It's padded, has a shoulder strap and a little pocket on the outside for your charger or whatever. I like the way it looks, from the color to the design/materials.
The only thing I can't tell from the photos is whether or not there is any padding on the bottom (when it's standing up vertically). This may or may not be an issue... just something to consider.

I would suggest taking a look at Kia. Either the Soul or the Rio 5-Door (hatchback) would be a good choice. They are both in your price range, and are both excellent city cars.
Unfortunately, they are also both a little over your length requirements, both a little over 13 feet.
The only vehicles I can think of that may be smaller are the Mini (which is over budget) or a smart car (which only has 2 doors). Smart cars are pretty great for city driving, though...especially for parking....and they are well within your budget.

I would suggest the Cat's Meow by The North Face. I bought two of these last year for my wife and I to replace our old ones, at let me just say, sleeping in it is nothing short of magical. Very warm, soft, comfortable. Hell, it's almost better than sleeping in my bed at home! I've never described my bed as magical....
It's an all season bag down to 20 degrees, which is pretty good for most situations, although not extreme. Under $200 is a good deal for a 4 season bag, especially a nice one like this.
It's good for camping, too....highly compressible.

I know this is a very popular mouse amongst WOW players. It has like 17 buttons, and also has interchangeable side panels for differently shaped hands.
As I understand it, it's really cool and quite accurate, but also made out of light, cheapish plastic, which kind of diminishes the cool factor.
I think it's only compatible with pc.
A lot of people use these, so they have to be at least moderately awesome because it's over 100 bucks! It's got lots of good reviews... I think it will do you right!

I would say go with this Simmons. I have this exact one. Not only does it look like a bachelor pad recliner, but it is incredibly comfortable! You can't make me get up from it, hardly even to go to the bathroom.
It's really great, I have no qualms about recommending this chair. I wil buy again from Simmons.

I imagine this is just what you are looking for? This looks like a good one to me. Remember, of course, this is something you will have to hard wire to your electrical wiring in your house, so be careful!!! But this will add ample lighting to your vanity area.
Also keep in mind that there is no cover on these lights, so they will be right in your face. This means you will have to get the correct bulbs that are bright enough to add tons of light, but won't blind you. I think they're even called vanity bulbs. Good luck!

I don't own this thing but it looks like a good chair! It's got a hydraulic lift and a foot rest. It's padded, which your clients will appreciate!!! I think the price is right, too.

I would definitely recommend a Brother... they make exceptional printers and products of this nature. This will be all you need for printing shipping labels. It will pretty much do it flawlessly and easily every time....a very reliable product.
You should be up and running in under 15 minutes. No ink required. Easy to use (albeit very simple) software included.
Keep in mind that you need a computer to use this label maker.....sometimes people are confused, and think it's a self-sustaining printer. It connects via USB.
A very nice printer for the money.

For the price, this is an outstanding monitor....although I don't know your budget. It's 23" so I would say it's a good medium size. Capable of full HD, and it's definitely a good looking unit...very sleek design, nice lines and everything.
This is the best monitor I have ever owned...so I highly recommend it to you without reservation.

I have been using this docking station as a liaison between my pc and my laptop.
I am very pleased with its performance and convenience, as it greatly reduces he number of cables that I have to actually plug into my laptop. Very convenient!

I would definitely say iPad 2 is the way to go... even go for the cheaper iPad 1st generation if you want to save a few bucks. The reason I recommend iPad is because it has the simplest operating system of all the tablets, i.e. it's the easiest to use without much of a learning curve.
It's designed to be user friendly and intuitive. The screen is almost 10" and vividly bright, so seeing and using the touchscreen features won't be a problem.
There are definitely more powerful tablets out there, but this one is best for being user friendly. Hope this helps!

I would look into this program... Rosetta Stone is just so darn expensive! This got some good reviews and is under $30. Seems like a good starting place. Also, it's an interactive DVD rom, so it's a lot easier to stay engaged.

I have to say it's almost apples and oranges here... I think the macbook pro will cost 3X more but also have 3X more functionality and use. The better choice completely depends on what you will use it for... internet, or internet plus everything else.
Both are good machines though!

This is a really nice little keyboard that I use for travel mostly, and what sold me on it was the ability to fold it up into a really small case, small enough for some coat pockets. Very portable.
It folds in half, and the one weird thing about it is that the 'B' key is on the left side of the split, so it throws off your typing at first because it's odd to reach across the gap with your finger. Easy getting used to it though.
I really like the feel of the keyboard, in terms of weight and action....the keys go down the right amount and it feels normal in that way.
For ultimate portability, this keyboard is wonderful. Not perfect on every way, but it gets the job done no problem. I like it!

This is a nice option for you if you only want a charger/data-sync device. Connects via USB. Your phone charges quickly, and that's all! That's all you need.
It has a dim blue light that emits from it... not bright enough to be of any annoyance.
It's a nice, simple charger!

This is what I use and it's great. I take it with me wherever I go because it gives me instant congestion relief! I really don't even know what I would do without it! You have to try it out. Seriously...instant relief! I like that I can use it before I eat a meal and actually taste my food! You know how a stuffy nose makes everything bland? Yeah this stuff really helps with that :-)

I recently bought a tambourine by Cosmic Percussion (I think they are a subsidiary of Latin Percussion, because it says "presented by LP" on the instrument) and it is awesome!
It was only $30 at Guitar Center, and it's everything I could ever imagine in a tambo!
It is made of real wood, has 2 sets of jingles all the way around, and even has a lambskin head. It sounds great, and would certainly be perfect for folk music. I highly suggest it! Very happy with it!

If you're not looking for a pro glove, I would suggest this Mizuno. Of course everyone has their favorite glove for their own reasons, but I think this is the best glove out there for a reasonably low price. It will give you professional grade play at an intermediate price.
They are well built, made of soft yet durable leather, and exceptionally comfortable on your hand. They are light and easy to handle.
Mizuno is awesome! Try one on at your local sporting goods store, and tell me it isn't the most comfortable glove ever!

This is of course very similar to the other options here, the main difference being this one has a cord leash instead of a tape leash. I find it to be a better option for larger dogs, as it seems to be able to handle more pulling weight than the tape type. It's thicker and more durable, at least in my experience (I have had a tape leash snap before! But I have big dogs...)

These are some nice medium duty clippers. Only 46" long, so not for really high branches. Does a great job around the yard keeping everything trimmed and even. It is a cinch to use because it's not very heavy.
The blade is pretty sharp and does a good job at trimming rose bushes or trimming small branches.... only up to about 1/2 though.
Might not be heavy duty enough for you, but I thought I would suggest it if you were looking to do light duty work.

Gotta get one of these. They are they ultimate in bean bag chairs. It's actually shaped like a chair, unlike other bags, so it has a little more support. Great for watching movies and playing video games.

I like these Giro Indicators. I have one and so does my wife.
We are such a cute couple :)
We go on medium long rides, upwards of ten miles, and I never feel like the helmet gets in my way or bothers me at all.
It's really light and has plenty of air vents to keep you cool.
It is not bulky at all (like those cheap helmets) but rather it is streamlined and small.
Still feels sturdy enough to take a big fall.... haven't tested it yet though....

I keep this thing in my car all the time....and man I have found I use it a lot more than I ever would have thought.
It's small and light and honestly a little on the cheap side. However, it emits a good amount of light, certainly enough for any use in the car. The LED's are exceptionally bright, and the batteries will last for a very long time.

This is a great blender for fruits, veggies.... things like that. Not amazing with ice, though. i think the motor is adequate for small ice cubes, but anything large will give it a run for it's money. Motor just can't handle it I guess.
I don't even like smoothies, so this doesn't really affect me. Works well and cleans up quick... I'm a happy customer.

These are awesome! They are big and they are powerful!
Ok so don't think I'm a creep or anything, but I recently moved downtown in a highrise and I wanted to be able to spy on everybody! I mean, not really spy, but it's fun to be way up above everyone and able to see what's going on all around you. Oh the stuff I have seen!
I also took them to my parents house out in the country and the stars/moon looked pretty amazing...although I didn't really know what I was looking for so it was a little difficult.
But yeah, at home I have these set up on my camera tripod and it fits perfectly.
The magnification is spectacular and it's easy to focus.
Love 'em!

Make sure you don't put the dry IN the punch though... that would be bad.

This is a cool military style watch that I recommend. I used to have one, and unfortunately I broke it, through no fault of the watch.
I love this style in that it is quite casual, but can be worn to fancier occasions without looking odd or out of place.
It's very well crafted and has a durable strap. It's got some weight to it and it feels nice and solid on my wrist.
Time and date was alway accurate.
I need another one!

You might as well eat the right stuff. having a diet full of natural energy enhancing foods is the best way to feel all around more energized. It's better than caffein because you won't ever feel a crash, you'll just get hungry again!
This is a good book and it has a lot of good recipes, and recipes you can expand on to make them your own.
Check it out! Worth a try.

This is a perfect little audio system for a kitchen or bathroom. It sounds great, and puts out a decent amount of sound, considering the size. It's also mountable, which is why drew me to it. I mounted it the wall in my kitchen, and it's perfect for that space. Looks fantastic, and sounds great.
One ting that's a little annoying is that there is no time display on it! Why not? I don't know. Bummer. Good thing I own a watch.

This is a fabulous mid range receiver for your home sound system. Nice full sound, fills up a medium sized room easily, even will fill a large room pretty well. The sound quality is damn good - not the very best but hey you get what you pay for.
Definitely a modern age receiver so it won't have a problem hooking up to your TV.
Remember, it's very important to get a good receiver if you want a nice system, more so than speakers. The receiver will be amplifying the sound for you and making it what it is, so it must be high quality if you want good results. This receiver WILL give you good results.

This is a great down coat to use as a base layer, or by itself, although for wind and rain you will need to add a shell of some sort. i think it's a good idea to buy a base layer and a shell because it offers you more flexibility than just a down coat will. this way you can wear the shell or base layer on their own, too, covering you for more seasons. versatility is the name of the game if you want to save some money in the end!

oh yeah this machine is ridiculously cool if you ask me. pricey, like all alienware, but they make an astonishingly fast gaming machine, so it's totally worth it if you are serious bout your gaming.
aesthetically, the thing looks like it's ready to kick some ass. angular lines and aluminum construction give it a tough exterior. The illuminated keypad is nothing short of impressive and the edge to edge screen is very sleek. all the ports you can imagine:
vga, one usb, FireWire, ethernet, display port for digital video, express car, 2 headphones..... etc. (there's more)
this is a great machine and can be insanely fast.
i have always been a fan of alienware they make awesome machines.

I don't know if this set is cheap or not but I think it's reasonably priced at 25 bucks. I bought myself one do dilly dally with picking lock just for fun and was actually able to unlock almost every lock in my house. Awesome, also kind of scary.
But yeah it works and the instructional video really helped!

I have had a lot of luck with this guy.
I run a small business out of my home and needed a multi-purpose machine like this that was fast and I could rely on... bingo! This one fit the bill.
It prints, scans, copies, and faxes. Also, it has wireless capabilities which is an amazing feature than my archaic old printer certainly didn't have.
Everything it produces is high quality and looks good to me. I'm pretty picky about my documents looking right, and I have no problem getting everything up to my expectations with this machine.
I have one bad thing to say about it, and it's that it seems to use a LOT of ink! I go through a ton of black ink and I don't know why. Nothing too bad though, and over all I am happy. I don't mind buying the cartridges if i know my stuff is going to look good.

These are good headphones, awesome if you consider the extremely low price.
The only thing is they are molded a little bit, so they don't fit everyone's ears perfectly. I noticed with reviews online that some people gave them a bad review because they didn't fit their ear canal, but that's just how it goes with in ear headphones!
the sound is very clear and crisp and not too bassy, which is a relief when I'm using earbuds.
i would recommend ordering these and if they don't fit, send 'em back for a refund. if they do fit, you will absolutely love them.

La Sportiva rocks my world!
Awesome shoe, perfect for beginners or pros. Nice heel cup for support, nice edging abilities. NOting bad to say about this shoe.
get them a half size small... you want them to be almost uncomfortably tight...almost is the key word there. they should be like part of your foot.
These are very high quality shoes that you will get a lot of use out of.

A big rugged manly bomber. Decently heavy and warm, but of course I'm more interested in the aesthetics of this one. The leather looks and feels wonderful, and the collar is soft and stylish...I love how it looks. I'm picky with my coats as I only buy a new one once every few years and this is a good one!

Woolrich... now here's a company I can trust! I've been wearing all sorts of Woolrich products my whole life, so I happily suggest this jacket to you! All of their stuff is rugged and well made.
I like the colored collar, gives a little distinction from all that denim. This will be warm and tough and manly as hell. Great choice! I love denim.

yes you need to try it! way cool stuff.
one tip i have is make sure to eat foods that you are familiar with already, like lemons and sour skittles and stuff. when I went to a flavor tripping party i wasn't really impressed with a lot of the foods because they were pre-packaged salsas and dips and stuff, and I didn't know exactly how they tasted prior to eating the berry, so the difference wasn't as impressive.
but with tastes I was familiar with it was incredible! i drank a guinness and it tasted like chocolate milk beer. weeeiiiiiird

This is a nice microwave but it is a little over your price point. It's hard to find anything but bare bones products in the 50 dollar range, and if you can move up to around $75 you could get a lot more microwave.
This microwave by panasonic is a good option because it is compact, powerful and quite attractive. I bought it to replace my old panasonic because I was so happy with the performance of my old one.
This one performs equally well in terms of the way it cooks food. The only little thing I don't like (as online reviewers have also noted) is the display is impossible to read unless you are positioned directly in front of the machine, looking it square on.
It's not a huge deal, but something they should change.

These are surely the best sweat pants of all time. I think they are so much better than the typical fleece lined pants that have overtaken the sweat pant industry!

This has got to be the best snow chain system on the planet... I just don't see how they could be any better! You pay for it though! They are expensive.
They are perfect for me because I live on a dirt road and take the interstate to work, so I need something that can go on and off in a flash. These are simply amazing: about a minute per tire to put on and half that to remove.
An incredibly effective snow tire system! I am impressed and will always use these.

THIS IS GREAT FOR REDUCING ALLERGENS IN THE AIR!!! I used to get the worst allergies ever and I put this in my bedroom and am sleeping soooo much better and wake up feeling better too. How did I ever survive without it???
I particularly like that I don't have to purchase new filters... it's washable. Awesome I am a happy customer.

I would say you need this bench and some dumbbells to accompany. Start with low weight until you are comfortable, and (with a spotter of course!) try to eventually move towards high weight, low rep workouts. This will build the most muscle mass. Protein will be needed to rebuild your muscles, so figure out your best way to take in more protein.

this is what you need, John! this is a ridiculously cool case that is completely impact resistant and watertight.... perfect for protecting that macbook in just about any conditions.
I bought one for some serious travelling I was doing for work, and needed something VERY reliable and strong as heck...this fit the bill perfectly.
The case is SUPER tough and pretty light as well. My 17" laptop sets right in there, no problem, and doesn't jiggle around at all.
I walked with it in the rain and no moisture got inside, but that's really all I can say for the watertightness.
But I don't think you'll find a tougher case out there.
If you're prone to dropping your laptop, this is the case for you!

This doesn't sit directly on the page, but it actually hangs from your neck and is suspended directly over the page. I like it because I don't have to pick it up every time I want to turn the page. This is great! It really magnifies the page a lot and eases the stress on my eyes, which is the reason I bought it. Obviously just don't move around too much when you're wearing it or it will jiggle around and won't be quite as useful!

This product is definitely not everyone...in fact some people have terrible allergic reactions to it..... :(
BUT, if it works for you, it REALLY works for you!
I have been using it for about 7 weeks now and have seen a definite improvement in my hair's thickness and strength.
Just dab some on my head after towel drying my hair and comb it through, making sure it penetrates into my scalp so it can get into those follicles.
Honestly my hair looks and feels much better, like as if each strand was a little thicker than before. I don't feel like my hair is falling out anymore, as I did before using it. Wonderful product!

I bought these for my wife because she wanted a 'traditional looking western boot' and I thought these fit the bill quite well.
She is very happy with them! They have a beautiful design and are absolutely top notch leather. Very well put together boot.... it def. won't fall apart on you!
She loves them and says they are surprisingly comfortable.
I like that they're not over the top western. They are simple and sleek and she looks fabulous in them!

These are really fast acting and that's why I love them! REALLY fast, faster than anything else I've taken. It must get absorbed directly into your blood because it's less than tenn minutes.
I don't think it's any better or worse than any other extra strength medicine out there, but it's definitely faster acting.

obviously it's not for everyone, as I guess pheromones interact and influence the scent. feels good after a shave. spray on. the best!

I use this bag and usually I can carry it on...although it is right on the cusp of being too big and occasionally I have to check it, especially on full flights.But it's great as far as your average suitcase goes. Plenty of room for 3 - 4 days packing. The wheels roll real easily and they're not so small that pebbles get caught in them.
It is constructed of durable materials and has survived many plane trips with me, no problem.
It's fairly light too, enabling you to pack more and keep it light.
Great suitcase, I am happy with it.

i'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but this is a great bag for slr cameras or really any camera, plus all your gear. there's easily enough room for your camer, 2 lenses (at least) your flash, and any cords you may need.
offers great protection because it's padded and made of a durable nylon fabric. buckles down tightly and holds everything safe. great bag

this is a good glare reducer. you can still see through it, but it blocks uv and tints like a big pair of sunglasses for your car. easy to put on, just clip to the existing visor.
the only thing is it's made of cheap materials, like cheap sunglasses are. i wish it was a little more high quality, because I wouldn't mind spending a little more for a better product!
but it does work pretty well, and is worth the 15 or 20 I payed for it.
helps in early morning or late afternoon traffic, and is absolutely a necessity in rush hour!

spray a little bit on your wrists and touch them together. avoid rubbing them together because this will burn through the perfumes quicker and the scent will not last as long.
after touching wrists together, tough them to each side of your neck.
that should be enough/ if you feel like you need more, maybe put a dab on your back or something.
don't over do it! noting worst than a guy saturated with cologne.

it's funny that they say "cotton" on the description because they are definitely also polyester (36%) but that's ok i guess because the material is soft and i love the thermals for their warmth and thin, easy layering ability.
i am not a fan of the high waist and usually roll the waist band down one time so they don't sit so high. very comfortable and warm, though, which is what you need in a thermal.
careful, they shrink a decent amount on the first few washes!

I threw some of these on my car and was surprised by the amount of extra light they produce, not only just in terms of brightness but also width of the light angle. I have a wider lighted view. Install was pretty easy and standard as far as fog light kits go, although I was surprised they left the wiring so bare and uninsulated... I took care of that with some wire housing I had on hand. I love them and wouldn't feel right driving without these anymore!

I think these would be perfect for poker. I don't play but I own these glasses and they really conceal my eyes, to the point where if I put them on and go stare into a mirror with lights on, I can barely even see my own eyes, close up. I don't imagine someone at a poker table could see past these lenses from a few feet away, especially in lower light situations.
The only thing I don't like is the stiff hinges... but I guess it's better than loose ones.

I do a lot of business travelling, and have been through my fair share of suitcases in my day. Let me just say this is the suitcase of suitcases. They though of everything with this one... no detail was overlooked.... and it's just a great product all the way around. I'll let you know if I can think of anything I don't like about it.......
Here's what I do like: the wheels. They are inline skate wheels (heavy duty and amazingly smooth) and are set to the far corners of the frame, giving you the most possible stability. No more tipped over suitcases for me when I'm in a hurry :)
I also appreciate the light frame they use. I don't know what material it is, but it's very light, which means I can pack more and keep it below the weight limit. Somehow it seems they haven't sacrificed structural integrity for lightweightedness, as it feels as durable as any other suitcase I've owned, if not MORE durable.
It also has padding on the exterior to protect your valuables.
The inside offers plenty of space for packing for week or less of travel.
A great suitcase. And no, I haven't though of anything I don't like about it.

This is a great soccer short. I like the length and the feel of the material. I don't like that there are no pockets. This doesn't matter in a soccer match, but usually I wear these to jog in and I would like to have a place to put stuff, like a zippable pocket would be ideal. But that's okay. Still a nice short for athletics.
Also, these are available in tons of colors. I got a blue pair and a red pair. They have orange and white and everything. Great for soccer jerseys to keep everyone uniform.

If you want the best (and I mean the BEST) these are the mittens for you. Super warm and super waterproof and super comfortable (super expensive, too).
Let's just say these are good for being outside all day in Antarctica in the wintertime.

This is a stunning piece of luggage. Slightly out of your price range, but worth every penny. A leather duffle bag that is equally rugged and stylish.
I bought myself one of these mostly to have a nice carry on for the plane, although now I use it for most all of my travelling. There's just nothing like it it terms of aesthetics or toughness. I've had it two years now and no stitching has come out and the leather is still vibrant. I guess there's a small tear in the lining (which is also beautiful, btw) but that's liable to happen to any similar bag.
Travel in style... spoil yourself with this bag!

I think this is the one you're looking for. It's the right size for your car - not too small that you have to empty it all the time, but not so big that garbage has time to get stinky between empties. Easily fits around your head rest, and it's leak proof, so you wont be wiping milkshake off the floor after you've thrown it away.
Easy to clean, too. Just wipe it with a sponge or wash it in warm water.

I have this exact jacket at home and take it out every fall and spring. It is the perfect transition jacket in terms of weight, functionality and style. I really like how it looks...that's what drew me to it initially.
It's 70% cotton - I like this a lot. Cotton is the best because it breaths, and I need some ventilation in my jacket.
it's decent at wind-breaking and provided a nice layer of defense against precipitation.
I love this jacket and wear it just about every day. Oh there's another good thing about it - it's versatility! I wear it all the time for a huge variety of different occasions. Wonderful jacket. I will buy another one if this one ever wears out.

This is suuuuuuch a great watch. Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something silver (i wasn't looking for dark silver like this, but I love it) and sparse. I wanted a very sleek, empty face. And I got it! It's a beautiful watch. I love how simple the face is! Exactly what I wanted. Just a diamond at 6 bells.
Gorgeous watch - I et so many compliments! I look forward to wearing this watch to work, how silly is that?

This is a great shoe and I am happy to recommend it to you! The leather is soft and indeed high quality, the stitching obviously very well done and will not come out.
Over all it is a handsome shoe, simple in nature. Perfect for this classic look.
The sizing was accurate, as well.
Highly recommended. A great shoe.

I think this style (the type that attaches to your trailer hitch) is way better and easier to use than the kind that straps all across the back of your car. Installs right into your square hitch. No problem, and no movement whatsoever. It's not gonna go anywhere.
Four bikes easily set right on there. Won't scratch your paint. Works like expected.

This is a fantastic mid-weight overall. Not as rugged as some other brands, but also not as expensive. These are perfect for me and my uses, which happens to be mostly yard work and painting. I don't need something super heavy duty or anything. Actually, I prefer something that isn't heavy duty so I can stay light and cool while I'm out in the sun all day.
These are great. They fit well (sizing was pretty accurate) and they feel good. They look...well..... like overalls. I know they're not the most fashionable article of clothing ever, but they are great for working around the house.
Quit ruining all those old shirts and jeans. Get yourself a pair of these.

okay so i don't know if you're into guns, but it doesn't even matter because everyone thinks this is awesome! i have one in my jeep and everyone's always surprised by it and says it's sweet. because it is! good conversation piece, too.

This is a fantastic all around metal detector... it has an 8" waterproof coil, so it is designed to be used on the beach in shallow water. It's not, however, designed to be completely submerged.
It works very well, especially for the price. If this is your first metal detector purchase, this is definitely the right one for you.
It's very easy to assemble and use. You should be up and running in minutes.
It tells you not only what type of metal you've found, but approximately how deep it is.
It has different modes, including an 'all metals' mode and a mode that only searches for valuable metals.
It's fairly light and easy to carry around, and comes with a carry bag.
Great investment for the new metal detector enthusiast!

I think all wools should be taken to the dry cleaner. it not only cleans but revitalizes the material. washing it at home may leave it kind of flat.
Some people think dry cleaning is too harsh on the wool, but it does minimal to no damage to the material. Let a professional do it. That's what I say.
I will say I have washed it myself, similar to the way Abby described it above and it works pretty well. I just feel like the wool is left without its original bounce.

I never thought I'd be a cardigan wearer in my lifetime, but my wife really wanted me to be one. So she's bought me a couple cardigans over the years, none of which I really liked, until this one. I like the color, the material, and the over all design. It's less feminine than other cardigans I've worn because of how it's cut. Pardon me if that offends anyone, but I think the way cardigans hang on the body is a feminine look. For some reason I don't feel like that with this one.
It just feels like a sweater, a soft button up sweater. Great for fall. I can't wait till it cools off so I can start wearing this thing again, really!

i love my newbs! great trail runner. very light, very comfortable. fit tight around my whole foot. i like the mesh material.
i haven't had them for long, but they don't look super heavy duty. i mean, so far no problems, but i could see how these could slowly deteriorate over time, only because they are so light and 'minimalist'. i wouldn't recommend them for pavement running, because the sole is not super padded and you'll feel it in your legs, because they will be taking all the impact!
on trails, though, it's not a problem whatsoever. the ground is plenty cushioned for me. that's why i love the lightweight design. you don't need a lot of padding to run outside...it's already padded!

This is awesome for something a little different than a pea coat. Pea coats are really nice, but I do see a lot of them and prefer something different.
I like the oversized buttons... don't worry it still zips closed and the zipper is completely hidden from view. very warm, nice wool blend feels good on.

A good work boot is a crucial investment for any man on the job. Not only for protection, but for support. You're probably on your feet all day, and if you're like me, come 5 o'clock my dogs are barkin pretty hard. A safe comfortable shoe is what I need... thank god I found these Cats.
I like that they're a little lower cut than some work boots I've used in the past. Easier to handle, less bulk on my feet. They still get pretty hot in the summertime, but not as bad as a full length boot.
I like the style, too. They look like a hiking boot more than a work boot, and judging by their overall comfort and design I would even consider taking them for a hike.
One of the best work shoes I've ever owned... HIGHLY recommended.

I would say a power washer would help with this. don't get too close, because I think a powerful enough washer would tear up plastic and some coatings.
maybe take it to a self wash and use the soapy scrubber on it then power wash it off.

It funny you asked this because I've actually tried this before. I was at work and when I turned my car on to go home it began to steam from under the hood, because there was apparently a tiny little hole in the radiator hose!
I had some duct tape handy, so tried drying off the hose and wrapping it, and went on my short drive home (the shop was closed at this point)
Well about one block in to my drive my engine once again was steaming like crazy! Antifreeze everywhere.
So, no it does not work.
I think the reason it didn't work though is the hose was already so wet and oily that the duct tape just couldn't grab hold of anything... it had nothing but lubricants to stick to.
If used on a dry, fresh hose it would work, but then a fresh hose wouldn't have a whole so it's pointless!
No, it does not work.

This woofer is outrageously loud. Kickers are good for just straight noise pollution. I would say there are definitely better woofers out there for sound quality, but for sound quantity, you can't beat a kicker.
tons of sound and power. lowest lows ever

I just bought myself one of these because I had the same concern - and let me just say IT ROCKS!!!! best stick on mirror ever. it's exactly what i want in a product like this - easy to put on, and GREATLY increases my field of vision.
Not cheap looking like other similar products i've owned throughout the years.
Thoroughly gets rid of my blind spots, and just makes keeping track of traffic easier. COuple this with some convex side view add on mirrors and you'll be golden.

Definitely sweatshirts or a light jacket. These are easier to guess the right size... less of a gamble I would say.

i like the good old chuck taylors. black with a white sole, medium high ankle. what a classic look. super comfortable . this is the type of shoe that actually gets more and more comfortable the more you wear it.
my buddy when we were young would buy two or three different color pairs of these shoes, and always have shoes that didn't match in color. really weird guy.

I got one of these for my dad last year and he got a kick out of it. he says it works pretty well.... you can boil water or just keep food and beverages warm in there. Great for hunting or camping for a quick hot tea or coffee, or oatmeal. plugs right into your cig lighter.
he has complained about a slight amount of leakage, though. so watch out... don't burn yourself!
|

|
|
|

I was wondering if that would be a good method... sounds like you guys endorse it. worth a shot i guess. i was mostly apprehensive because I don't want to do anything to hurt my jeep! but yeah i don't think this will hurt at all

I do a lot of mid - high intensity hiking, and these might be the best shoe I've ever used. They have great ventilation which I need because I hate hot feet, and have generous support and grips.
They are very comfortable, and as always Merrell are going to be long lasting. Check out a few of their different shoe types. You're bound to find something that does it for you.
Great great shoes.

Absolutely. I know, I was skeptical too but they make a huge difference. Here's my tale:
I have (well, had) a jeep and so does my wife. Both year 2000 cherokees (this was completely by coincidence, btw) Mine had old tires on it and so did hers, but we decided to buy some new snow tires for the upcoming winter months for one of them, because that's all we could afford.
Of course she won so a few hundred dollars later she had some brand spankin new kelly safaris on her jeep (we decided to use hers because it was nicer all they way around, and share it, which was no problem).
so it snows a bunch and I can't go anywhere in my jeep, especially up hills. I even completely lost control on the freeway on an icy bridge and slid off.... no one got hurt, thank god.
her jeep, on the other hand, had little to no problem cruising around town, up and down hills, and it felt solid on the freeway, too.
It was pretty cool to have this side by side comparison... and obviously they made a big difference to us. I kept saying "i am soooooo glad we have these tires right now". definitely a good investment in your safety.

While I think many brands are similar in quality, there is a big difference in regula or synthetic oils.
In general, a good synthetic oil is gonna have more advantages.
For example, it will keep your engine deposite free for longer due to its better detergent system. It also pours at lower temperatures - take this into consideration if you live in a cold climate. It also has a better heat raring than regular oil (400 degrees f). It also in general is more 'slippery' than conventional oil, so it does a better job with fuel economy, making your engine hopefully run a little smoother.
I, personally, think it is worth it to buy the synthetic stuff. A good oil goes a long way in your car. Keep that thing running as weel as possible for as long as possible. If you take good care of your vehicle you will get a lot of years and miles out of it, and will spend far less in the long run with repairs and such.

This is the perfect little kit to keep around. The lens cleaner works better than any I've used. For real. It comes with a cleaning cloth, 2 spray bottles and even a little carry bag for it all. Keep it in your car, at your home, office, wherever.

I think these thicker black frames are the way to go. They are a cool look for just about anybody...bring a sense of sophistication to your face. They're kind of fun but still professional.
I'm sure if you don't want to spend a fortune you can buy a similar looking frame by a different, less expensive company.

This is a fantastic suit for it's looks and versatility. It's designed first as a water sports short, and second as a water short. Perfect for a day at the beach playing volley ball or frisbee or football or whatever, then jumping in the water to cool off.
I think your guy will appreciate the fact that they're designed as a sport short because it means all day comfort and wearability. Swim suits can be kind of limiting in that they might not have the support you need or pockets or anything. But this suit covers all the bases and allows for easy swimming. Best all around suit!

Whatever you decide to wear, just make sure it's all clean and crisp, you know? Nothing that's wrinkled or has holes or anything in it. Clean and crisp.
Also, for what it's worth, I think jeans are an acceptable first date pant as long as they are dark in color and (you know what I'm going to say) clean and crisp. I like jeans. I feel more comfortable in them, and I think I can dress up a dark jean really well with a nice shirt and a blazer.

You need to dress like you own a yacht. White flowing pants, maybe some nice leather flip flops or sandal of some sort, and a light color, lightweight cotton button up.

I actually prefer jogging sans shirt, but when I have to wear one I need something sleeveless and light. I actually prefer this to like a cotton beater because when I get sweaty in a cotton one it just gets saturated and sticks to my body...yuck. This one, however, does a pretty good job at removing moisture from my skin and staying light and floaty around me.... doesn't stick on to me the whole time.
Under armour stuff is nice. Well made. They obviously know what they're doing.
Something about having this on makes me feel like I can run a little harder... like I look like I'm about to kick a little more ass or something....

This is a really nice thicker work sock. It's very comfortable and extremely durable. The only ting is that they get pretty hot... but that's what you get with a thick, cushioned sock. Very comfortable on my feet, and they definitely stay up.

Man these are reeeeeal nice driving gloves. Italian lambskin is as soft as it gets, and the honey brown color is vibrant and very attractive. They keep your hands almost as warm as they are stylish!

You can actually buy a product that somehow attaches to your adapter and turns it off when the ignition is turned off, so it will no longer drain power. It works by reading how much power is being supplied, and when the power level drops (when the car is turned off) it shuts the adapter off. You should look into something like this or an adapter that has one built right into it. Might as well play it safe and not run the risk of ruining a battery.

I think they're okay if you don't want to waste a good pair of jeans by throwing them away! I wouldn't wear them around as a fashion statement or anything.... and maybe not even out of the house, but I think it's a reasonable thing to do with an old pair of jeans
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah I have a pair of wrinkle free Dockers. They seem to work pretty well.... definitely less wrinkles. They are made of a different material, obviously... I would say a little softer than normal pants. But I've always liked Dockers and always hated ironing. Also, I like to wear a pair of pants at least twice before I wash them. Washing them more than that (unless they're dirty) is a waste and also reduces the longevity of the pant.
But yes, they work, but they are a slightly different experience than normal pants, so try them out first and see if you like the material.

I would say this gets especially tricky when you get down to the shirt/tie matching business. sometimes you can actually pull off different patterns between your shirt and your tie. bold move, though.

When I have to upgrade from a tee shirt i feel dressed up. does that make me lazy?
|
|
|
|
|

I would say if the shirt is important enough to you (and i totally understand if it is) you should go buy yourself some sort of stain remover in the laundry soap aisle. I know they make products that can do this....just saturate the stained area with it! saturate, man. that will clean the stain out.

Man you should check out RainX. They have awesome blades that don't make any sound and generally leave zero streaks... unless of course there's a bug on there or something. You can get them for just about every car model, and they're reasonably priced, too. Here, I'll make it easy for you:

Yeah you're right.... changing the air filter is one of the easiest things you can do to your jeep, and you'll save a couple bucks, too. I just use a regular Fram air filter (I don't remember what size, but it's easy to find out online). I don't think a high performance filter is necessary on a Jeep... you won't notice any difference because it's not a high performance vehicle.
Anyway, to change it, just snap open the buckles on the side of the air filter box which has a big tube coming out of it (for air flow). It is located on the very front driver side of the engine and is very obviously the air filter because it's an air filter sized black box. Just open it, take out the old one, and put the new one in. Easy as pie. Good luck!

I wouldn't say I plan ahead what outfit I'm gonna wear, but I certainly look at what I'm gonna wear before I put in on and decide if it's a nice match or not. Your clothing choices are one of the very first things people notice about you... personally and professionally. So you are representing yourself with what you choose to wear. You might as well represent yourself in a well put together, cohesive manner. That's the image I want people to get.

I like all types of V necks. I think they make for a really nice line and frame for your face. They make you look buffer if you have a little muscle on you. Some people think they're only for hipsters and stuff but I ain't no hipster and I wear them all the time.
Very comfortable and a nice look.... I vote yes for deep V's.

I would definitely say tortoise shell are the way to go. These will never go out of style, and are very high quality. If you don't want to spend a lot (understandable, neither do I) I'm sure you could find something similar but cheaper that would work just as well.
|
|
|

You need to find something that is 650-fill goose down. I don't know what company you should buy from, but this stuff is bomb. I just read an article about it actually, where they tested a bunch of coats in Chicago in february or something and they found 650-fill goose to be the warmest down. It's probably expensive but definitely worth it. I know - used to live in MIchigan and I know how cold it can get. I had a nice down jacket but not 650-fill. Now I want one.

I, too, think Garmin is a wise choice. I have a tom tom and my brother has a garmin, and his definitely was a slightly better buy. Overall, my tom tom is great and pretty much always gets me where I'm going, and is easy to use. But it definitely gives me more bad routes than his garmin does. I still get there, but not always the best way. I test it at home where I am familiar with the city and sometimes takes me a goofy way.
Also, his came with bluetooth and an mp3 player (we have a similarly priced model) and mine has neither!
|
|

yeah definitely skinny tie all the way. they are so in style right now and really just look better. now that i've made the switch to skinny tie i will never go back to normal ones....they look funny to me now! wasted material if you ask me.

Cardigans are cool, man! They are a great option for cool summer nights and moderate temperatures.

for me the problem wasn't the spark plug at all. i wasn't getting enough leverage with the socket wrench i was using because it was too short and in an awkward spot. got a long extender and was able to get the torque necessary to twist that thing out.
